        abstract = {This study explores the use of mixture of hydrotropic blends as green alternatives to organic solvents for the Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) of ciprofloxacin, a common broad-spectrum antibiotic with low solubility profile. Sodium benzoate, Urea and sodium salicylate were employed as hydrotropes in the ratio of 1:2:1 to substitute the organic solvents as the mobile phase. The Rf values obtained were compared across the different systems, the Rf value for organic and hydrotropic blends were 0.61 ± 0.02 and 0.63 ± 0.03 respectively, highlighting the potential of hydrotropes in future chromatographic applications. This approach aligns with green chemistry principles by reducing the reliance on hazardous organic solvents.},
